name	gh-request-copilot-review
description	Request or re-request GitHub Copilot review on the open PR for the current branch, or on a specified PR number, using gh CLI; verify gh auth first, trigger the reviewer request, and confirm GitHub recorded a fresh review request event.

GitHub Copilot Review Request

Use this skill when the user asks to ask Copilot to review a PR, re-run Copilot review after new commits, or confirm that a Copilot review request was sent.

Prerequisites:

• Run from inside the target Git repository.
• gh auth status must succeed.
• The current branch must have an open PR unless the user gives a PR number.

Workflow

1. Check GitHub CLI auth with gh auth status.
2. Run scripts/request_copilot_review.py.
   • Default target: the open PR for the current branch.
   • Explicit PR: --pr 123.
   • Preview only: --dry-run.
   • Wait for a fresh Copilot review after requesting: --wait-seconds 120.
3. Summarize the result with the PR URL, whether a fresh review-request event was confirmed, and whether a new Copilot review appeared while polling.

Command

From the repository checkout, run:

scripts/request_copilot_review.py

Useful variants:

scripts/request_copilot_review.py --pr 123
scripts/request_copilot_review.py --dry-run
scripts/request_copilot_review.py --wait-seconds 180

Notes

• GitHub Copilot review does not automatically re-run after every push. Re-requesting Copilot as a reviewer is the supported way to trigger another review.
• If the request succeeds but no new review appears immediately, report that the request landed and Copilot is still queued.
• If gh auth status fails, stop and tell the user to authenticate with gh auth login.
